Four of the kids were at camp this past week. I was at home working on an assignment when they started coming in with the bedding and bags. The one who wasn’t at camp spent most of his time running errands with Dad or following him around with whatever he was doing. Some of the kids would not enjoy that as much but this particular child doesn’t mind it. Two of them are the prefer to stay busy type.

But he did take breaks. The other ones at camp with a summer cold just toughed it out. One came home a few times after a particular stretch of feeling worse. Fluids and rest. It’s not exciting or original but it’s better than doing nothing. The cross country team had practice in Pawnee this evening which from here is nearly an hour away. This was the first I’d downloaded the app and heard of it. I said that was ridiculous, they couldn’t go.

One of them even hugged me for saying it. The other was relieved as well. I don’t think either one of them wanted to go, which wasn’t the point. It just wasn’t the thing to be doing this time. Tomorrow I would like to clean out the fridge and shop for food. Father’s Day is coming up and I do at least have one idea. Casper has been sleeping in a bowl on the table and it really is the cutest thing. They like cozy spots.
